From the earliest civilizations to the 21st century, a global journey through human history, tying-in with a major BBC television series. Andrew Marr, author of two bestselling histories of Great Britain now turns his attention to the world as a whole. A Short History of the World takes readers from the Mayans to Mongolia, from the kingdom of Benin to the court of the Jagiellonian kings of Poland.

Here, Marr widens the lens, concentrating as much, if not more on the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
